Administration official says South Africa is a ‘DEI regime par excellence’ as the White House radically overhauls refugee admission program
Donald Trump’s administration is mulling a plan that would more than double the annual limit for refugee admissions so the government can bring more white South Africans to the U.S.
The proposal follows the administration’s overhauling of the nation’s refugee admissions program to explicitly prioritize Afrikaners, The Independent previously reported.
Trump has already lowered the ceiling for annual admissions from 125,000 people to a record-low 7,500 — shutting off resettlement to thousands of already-vetted refugees who were preparing to start their life in the U.S. — and then limiting those admissions to mostly white South Africans.

Where they’ll struggle to find work to live a comfortable life
This picture needs to be updated, nowadays the line would be between the 2nd and 3rd options
The position of the line is entirely dependent on your net worth.
As a note: many of these ‘refugees’ are fleeing the crumbling apartheid structure they and their forefathers created in a country that was never theirs. These folks have very right-wing ideals, have a lot of money, and will be reliable Republican voters.
Still wonder why this isn’t surprising, or random?
We don’t want those assholes here. BOERS WILL NOT REPLACE US!
I‘d love to live in a DEI regime par excellence
Imagine still not grasping that Donald Trump is a racist.
I mean most conservatives know it and that’s why they voted for him. But there’s some that honestly don’t think he is and have other equally stupid reasons they voted for him.
What is the context for this? Why does he keep making exceptions for South Africans specifically? Is this some kind of favor to shitheads like Musk and Thiel? Or is there some other factor I’m not aware of?
Just plain ol’ racism
I think this is the work of Stephen Miller and Elon Musk - the two white nationalists close to Trump - moreso than anything Trump is initiating or even really cares about.
In the white nationalist world, the “white genocide” narrative is their lodestar.
I believe it’s because most South Africans are white
They’re no longer legally allowed to discriminate in South Africa, therefore white South Africans are victims. Religion played a dual role in SA, on the one hand, to rationalize apartheid, on the other, for liberation and reconciliation. The US seems to have a similar religious division between liberal and conservative sects.
@notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip gave a pretty good answer in a comment above https://piefed.social/comment/11085277
Throwing a bone to a minority within his base, and even then some South African refugees have actually left the US recently.
wait, i thought refugees were bad?
Nah, mostly just dark skin.
It’s like the 14 words say: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,” so we’ll do anything to replenish the whiteys!

/disgust
*vomit*Not ones with pale skin, apparently.
They already are leaving.
Lets just skip to how this profits Trump because thats all he cares about.
If they say South Africa discriminates against whiny white colonial descendants, isn’t that the opposite of DEI? Wouldn’t their fantasy version of DEI force the government to include the whites in more places simply because they are minorities?
America first
So, birthrate drops, just funnel in more people who don’t know America’s corruption, and now jobs markets are fucked with over-crowding while the billionaire class gets more bodies to leech off of. Great plan.
